The weight of the kitten will be no less than the weight of the puppy in 1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x week.
<h3>What is Inequality?</h3>
Statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.
Given:
A puppy weighs 2.8 pounds at birth and gained about 0.5 pounds per week.
A kitten weighs 1.4 pounds at birth and gains about 1.2 pounds per week.
puppy: 2.8 + 0.5x
Kitten: 1.4 + 1.2x
As, kitten is no less than puppy.
Kitten ≥ puppy
1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x
hence, the weight of the kitten will be no less than the weight of the puppy in 1.4 + 1.2x ≥ 2.8 + 0.5x week.
